I think Jackie Young was nervous for her post-game SportsCenter SVP debut and that’s entirely charming. #wnba #LVAvPHX #wnbaplayoffs

Kiah finally back on the court with less than a second left … #wnba

It’s Tuesday and no bombshell #wnba news has dropped yet. What’s going on?? I need more drama pls.

Uh oh for the Merc. Becky Hammon was nice and happy during that pre-game interview. #wnba #wnbaplayoffs #PHXvLVA

Akoa-Makani playing like she wants revenge for not being named to the All-Rookie #wnba Team #PHXvLVA

Wow. Does anyone doubt that Cathy's kids have gotten hate mail/death threats or that it sucks to see/hear such mean things said about your mom? The point is everyone is a human. Let's be kind, even while we are passionate. The W is supposed to be different. #wnba

Kudos to all the #WNBA reporters in the room with Cathy - y'all asked great questions, the right questions. Malika Andrews, Ben Pickman, Annie Constabile in particular stood out. Follow them all on the socials.

Another solid piece written by a woman who has been studying and writing about women’s sports for a long time. #wnba

Does anyone know what time Cathy’s “state of the league” presser is? All I can find is “before Game 1 of the finals.” #wnba

All the numbers are still estimates since no one knows the #wnba finances, but it’s so good to FINALLY see a well-researched piece on the topic make it to a mainstream publication. Every ignorant fool chirping "but they lose $50M/yr" will get this link from me moving forward. #paytheplayers

@unrivaledwbb.bsky.social Philly tickets already sold out and reselling at 3x (maybe more?) value. It’s like #Philly is getting back at the #wnba for not giving them a franchise. I snagged $50 tix which are selling at $250. (Nope, you can’t have mine)

WHAT IF former & current #WNBA players bought out the NBA's stake in the league? Who would you put on the exec team? Commissioner: Nneka Ogumwike COO: Sue Bird CFO: Swin Cash CHRO: Tamika Catchings CMO: Renee Montgomery (or Diana Taurasi 😂) EVP of Player Safety & Competition: Becky Hammon

Nice piece. I'm probably an outlier #WNBA fan in not *totally* hating on Cathy. She's far from perfect, but she has done some good and it's a hard job, made even harder with NBA overlords. As long as the NBA owns 60% of the W, there will always be another Cathy at the helm.

Excellent commentary from @wagesofwins.bsky.social . My Christmas wish for billionaire women to buy out the #NBA's stake in the #WNBA still stands.

My Christmas wish is for the wives of tech billionaires to band together and buy out the #NBA’s stake in the #wnba #supportwomenssports

If there was such a thing as a semi-finals MVP, it should go to Odyssey Sims. #wnba #wnbaplayoffs #INDvLVA

My Oura ring has something to say about this day. Tell me something I don’t already know … #wnba #INDvLVA

What are these extremely cushy seats behind the official’s table?? #wnba #INDvLVA

I cannot handle another OT … omg #wnba

Oh nooo Kelsey … A’ja’s eek grimace when they rolled out the stretcher said it all # #wnba

Reminder: Cathy answers to Adam Silver and the owners. Save some of your anger for them. #wnba

Me: Eating up all this #wnba drama Phee:

If every #wnba player retweeted a video of Phee’s statement, would the league levy a fine to every single player?

Yes this!! See my skeet re: Cathy taking the fall for the real puppet masters. #wnba

I’d really love it if #Aces fans came to the game tonight with message shirts. “Cathy, call the foul or we’ll call you out” or “Don’t thank lucky stars, Pay them” Or “On their knees? You’re on your way out”. Sigh. Clearly I’m a terrible shirt slogan writer. Help! #wnba #paytheplayers

I’m sure Collier picked the worst of Cathy’s comments to share, but the fact that the commish said those things is awfully damning … hard to imagine a context in which saying those things makes them better. #wnba #paytheplayers

Spicy! But also, it’s not like there are better refs in the W to put into the game so the underlying problem remains.

Punishing coaches and players for speaking truth about the terrible refs is the only officiating call that’s consistent in the #wnba

SHE WAS APPALLED THAT THE CROOKED #WNBA REFS DID NOT INTERVENE. SO SHE PUT ON RIGHTEOUSNESS AS A BREASTPLATE, AND GARMENTS OF VENGEANCE FOR CLOTHING, AND WRAPPED HERSELF IN FURY LIKE A MANTLE. ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS, SO SHE WILL REPAY. -The works of Cheryl Reeve according to Isaiah 59:16-18

Cheryl proving she deserves Syd and TP’s unnecessary award for coach most likely to hit a ref … #wnba #wnbaplayoff

This.

I want to go to sleep but reading reactions to Cheryl and re-watching her 2 minute presser of f-bombs has me like … #wnba #wnbaplayoffs

Ooh damn. Cheryl said Phee might have a fracture, and called for a change in league leadership In officiating. Dropped a bunch of F bombs and then stormed off.

Is the Phoenix Mercury the reincarnated Laimbeer Detroit Shock? #wnba #wnbaplayoffs

Ohhh man. Can’t wait for Cheryl in the post game conference. Also, really hope Phee is ok. I don’t want MIN to win but I don’t want Phee hurt either. #wnba

Can the #WNBA start hiring #rugby refs? k thx. #MINvPHX #wnbaplayoffs

Kah proving that she deserves the Syd and TP unnecessary award for best potential TSA worker. I ain’t tryna sneak my 4oz toothpaste if she working the security line. #wnba #MINvPHX #wnbaplayoffs

Who has the GIFs of Kah jawing in Court’s ear and all the other chirping?!! #wnba #wnbaplayoffs

You could drive an 18-wheeler through the gap between ref calls in the #LVAvIND game and the #MINvPHX game #wnba #wnbaplayoffs

Can’t wait to hear what Becky (or her crucifix) has to say about turnovers in the presser … #wnba #LVAvIND #wnbaplayoffs

I miss the #studbudz stream #wnba #wnbaplayoffs

Anyone got a stat on how many times the refs have missed a coach trying to call timeout? Def more than once. 🙄 #wnba #LVAvIND

Uh oh. 4 fouls for A’ja … #wnba #LVAvIND

When Becky Hammon is nice and talkative during the in-game interview, I gotta assume Vegas is gonna win the game. That, or she’s more confident in her crucifix over Steph White’s crucifix #wnba @real-point-god.bsky.social

Every time Phee says “And I’m a professional basketball player” in the TJ Maxx commercial, I think “wow that’s an understatement.” #wnba

Wow - great clawback from PHX. I think the only way they knock MIN out is by taking their 2 home games 🤞🏽 Such a great game to watch!! #wnba #PHXvMIN

If these Aces players don’t step up for A’ja in this game, I’m gonna be so pissed. And I’m a NYL fan. #wnba #INDvLVA

Is it just me or does this #PHXvMIN game feel oddly like a Round 1 Game 1 NYLvPHX remix? #wnba

Overtime!! Never been happier to have espn multicast. But also - why couldn’t one of these games have been last night?? #wnba #PHXvsMIN

Duuuuuuude - SAMI WHITCOMB!! #wnba
